FRONTISPIECE 



This book is made up entirely of paint and stain 
formulas, and contains much valuable information 
for the furniture finisher and the house painter. 
I am sure that its value will be much more appre- 
ciated when you become acquainted with this 
method of ''weighing out" for stains and paints, 
which is the most accurate way.

Gray Oaks such as silver pearls or standard 
grays are produced by using this method : First 
sponge the wood so as to raise the grain, and then 
sand smooth, and a coat of gray stain, leave dry 
out and then a thin coat of white shellac, sand and 
fill with natural filler or sometimes with white 
lead filler, sand and wax either acid or water 
stains can be used. 

Green and Blue Grays on Oak 
To produce a green gray on oak after the wood 
has been prepared in the same manner as for the 
above gray: 

Stain the wood with a blue water stain and 
when dried out for twelve hours give it a 
shellac wash of orange shellac, and fill with white 
lead and natural paste filler, tinted with a little 
green paint just to tint filler; this will leave filler 
show up light enough as the filler should be. 
Prime with orange shellac and the blue stain and 
the yellow orange shellac will produce a very nice 
green gray color. 

And for blue gray color use white shellac in- 
stead of orange, then either varnish and rub, or 
wax, whichever is desired.

French Polishing 

French polishing was a method of finishing fur- 
niture in some of the older countries before 
varnish came into existence, which seemed to be a 
slow and tiresome way. 

The idea was to take a piece of furniture and 
put a finish on it by rubbing it with a cloth in dif- 
ferent motions, saturated with a liquid which had 
a tendency to build up a finished coat and also 
polish at the same time. 

This method is being practiced today, but only 
on furniture which has Jbeen varnished and become 
checked. This is called Frenching out checks or 
fixing up rough spots. 

French polishing is a process of fixing up scars 
and blemishes which have been caused by some 
misfortune or recklessness, and the best results of 
this operation are only secured by experts, and 
which is a very quick way of getting a piece of 
furniture ready for shipment that has been 
marked by some reason or another. 

The idea in this is pulling the varnish from one 
spot to cover the spot where it has been rubbed 
off. While doing this you are covering the spot 
and also polishing at the same time, and where the 
mark or blemish is too deep, it is necessary to 
stain and bum in with the proper shades of wax, 
which is done by the alcohol torch and knife. 

When a scar or a dugout is burnt in good results 
are obtained by shaving the roughest of your wax 
down with a good sharp knife or chisel, and then 
using very fine sand paper and a block kept wet 
with benzine, which will give a nice, smooth sur- 
face if done right.

Where water and alcohol stains are to be used, 
the wood should be water sponged and left dry out 
for twelve hours, and then sanded smooth, and 

37 



then apply stain ; leave stand twelve more hours 
and then apply a very thin coat of shellac, called a 
shellac wash, and then sand and fill with proper 
filler to match color and then prime with shellac 
and apply two coats of good varnish. 

And often in doing this, in the veneer you will 
discover a blister, which the glue has not taken 
hold of. These blisters can often be put down by 
heating a knife or an iron, and placing it on the 
blister, but not too hot, that may burn the wood. 
If the piece of furniture has finish already on, the 
same process can be done, but the damage done by 
the hot iron, which is slight, can be touched up 
and Frenched over.

Putty Formula 

5 lbs. of whiting 

1 lb. of linseed oil. 
Work to a stiff dough. 

Putty that is to be used for all natural finishes 
should not be matched exact but should be a trifle 
darker because the wood ages and gets darker and 
the utty does not ; as it may show a difference at 
first, but later it will not; but as this is or has 
been the old method of filling up nail holes and so 
forth, there is now another method where fur- 
niture is to be finished by staining. 

39 



First these nail holes and chipped out places 
should be filled up before staining with a water 
putty called tite fill, sold by McFadden. This 
water putty when firmly pressed into the intended 
places dries quickly and when sanded off will take 
the stain the same color as the wood and will not 
sink like the oil putty. 

To cut dry orange shellac place 41/2 lbs. into a 
wooden keg or a stone crock, add 1 gal. of 95% 
wood alcohol, agitate or stir occasionally until gum 
is dissolved, but do not leave shellac stand in tin 
parcels exposed to the air, as orange will turn very 
dark. 

Waxing Floors 

In regard to waxing hard wood floors, such ^xs 
new oak floors, to produce a nice satisfactory job, 
see that the floors are put in the right shape, such 
as being scraped evenly and sand papered to a 
smooth surface by the caii)enter, and then apply a 
coat of natural paste filler ; leave on about fifteen 
minutes and then grass and rag off clean; rub 
filler across grain of wood; leave filler dry for 
twelve to fifteen hours and then apply a coat of 
white shellac and let diy until next day, and then 
sand, and if only one coat is desired and the next 
application is the wax, apply a good coat of John- 
son's floor wax with a piece of cheesecloth, rub- 
bing it well over the floor, and this should be left 
dry about ten or fifteen minutes and then brush 
off with the floor brush, which is made for the 
purpose; then by placing a piece of felt beneath 
the brush and proceeding in the same manner, a 
very satisfactory wax polish is obtained. 

If the floors are old and have already been 
waxed and are tarnished from age and soiled by 

40 



being mopped over, to brighten them up for re- 
waxing, they should be cleaned. This can be done 
by using v/ood alcohol and a handful of clean 
waste, but in using this one should be well 
acquainted with the nature of alcohol, not to apply 
too much, just enough to take off the old wax and 
not to raise the under coat ; in doing this rag dry 
as you go and it will dry for rewaxing in about 
one-half hour. 

Flat Wall Painting 

In doing over old walls, the good looking results 
of your job largely depencl on the condition of your 
foundation. 

Before starting to paint, if the walls are old and 
have been whitev/ashed or calcimined, this should 
all be v/ashed and scraped off, and if broken out 
and full of nail holes, they should be plastered up 
nicely and sanded off smooth, and then you are 
ready to proceed with the coating. 

Sometimes the walls are sized before the first 
coat of pahit is applied and sometimes over the 
first coat of paint. 

This sizing should be made from a good grade 
of drying varnish thinned out very, very thin, just 
so that it forms a mere glaze. This is done in 
order to give the v/alls a smooth, hard surface and 
to help your coating to stand out better. 

This same process is used for oil painting ; also, 
at least forty-eight hours should be given for each 
coat to dry, and where the walls are new and 
nicely white coated, it is not necessary to do ap-y 
sizing unless one wishes to go to that expense. 

All flat Vv^all paint should be flowed on like 
enamel, with plenty of paint on your brush, and 
not brushed out like the house painter brushes his 
paint. 

41 



That is the difference in applying these two 
paints. The wall paint when applied like men- 
tioned above will flow out itself and dry out nicely 
without brush mars ; but judgment must be used 
so as to not have your paint run. 

Flat wall paint can be cleaned bj' washing the 
walls with Ivoiy soap and warm water, and then 
rinse and dry thoroughly. 

Enameling 

To secure a nice white job of enameling, it re- 
quires three coats of flat white. For white enamel 
on new work, of which the first coat ought to be 
flat lead, and the other two coats be mixed with 
lead and zinc white, which will give your enamel a 
nice pure white ground. 

These coats to be given sufficient time to diy 
and sanded well between coats, and then a coat of 
good enamel paint on. 

For Increasing and Decreasing Formulas 

In regard to these weighed-out paint formulas 
which are found in this book, and which contains 
several hundred other useful formulas, one will 
note the size of each fonnula as it is. 

To raise the formula to a larger amount it will 
be necessary to multiply the amount of lead and 
each of the other colors by the same number as 
you have multiplied the lead for a smaller amount 
reduce accordingly. 

Also the stain formulas for lighter shade, add 
more water or alcohol or oil, whichever stain it 
may be, and for darker shades increase the stain 
powder. 

42 



In mixing paints to match flat and varnished 
plates, one will find it easier to match the flat 
plate ; if he has matched the flat plate and then 
varnishes it, it will look slightly different under 
the brilliancy of the varnish.
